Fields marked required must be filled in.
Fort Bend is hard on wood. Strong sun fades and dries it, and humidity keeps it damp. Left bare, a wood fence tends to gray, crack and weather faster than one that's protected.
Missouri City Fence Repair offers fence staining and sealing for wood fences in Missouri City, TX and across Fort Bend County, for homes and commercial properties. Because we also repair and replace fences, we can tell you honestly whether your fence is ready for stain, or needs work first.
Staining adds color and helps protect wood from sun and moisture. It can bring a faded, gray fence back to a more even look.
Sealing helps wood shed water, which matters in a humid climate where damp wood is where rot starts.
Many fence owners stain and seal together, or use a product that does both. We'll talk through what fits your fence and your goals.
Here's the honest version.
Staining makes sense when the fence is structurally sound: posts are solid, the fence stands straight, and the boards are weathered but not rotten.
Repair should come first when a few posts are rotted or loose, a section leans, or boards are broken. Staining over those problems only hides them for a while. See fence repair.
Replacement may make more sense when rot runs through most of the fence. Staining a fence that's failing everywhere isn't money well spent. See fence replacement.
We'll tell you which one applies before you spend anything.
Stain doesn't last forever, especially under Texas sun. How long it holds up depends on the product, the wood, how much sun and water the fence gets, and how it was applied. Signs a fence is due for attention include fading, graying, and water soaking in instead of beading on the surface.
New fences are a good time to plan for protection. Building a new wood fence? See wood fences. Have an iron fence that's rusting? That's painting, not staining. See wrought iron repair and painting.
If you're in an HOA, check its rules on fence color before choosing a stain.
Staining and sealing costs depend on the length and height of the fence, its condition, and the product used. Staining is quoted individually, with a free estimate in writing or by phone.

Both protect wood. Stain adds color and some protection from sun and moisture; sealer mainly helps wood shed water. Many owners use both, or a product that does both.
We'd recommend fixing rotted or loose posts and broken boards first. Stain won't fix structural problems, and it protects best on a sound fence.
